Smooth Flight App
“Predict turbulence. Fly smoother.”
About
Smooth Flight App, developed by Project Arcturus LLC, is an innovative turbulence forecasting platform designed to help travelers predict and avoid bumpy flights. The app combines real-time weather analysis, proprietary airport turbulence data, and machine learning models to deliver accurate “bumpiness forecasts” for both upcoming and future flights. With Smooth Flight, users can check turbulence predictions for any flight up to 30 hours before departure or plan ahead by viewing long-range smoothness ratings weeks in advance. The platform also suggests alternative routes with lower turbulence risk, helping travelers make informed, comfort-focused travel decisions.
